A standing wave oscillator is described. The standing wave oscillator includes a transmission line, and an even number of gain stages. Each gain stage is connected to the transmission line, and each gain stage is located at a respective location along a length of the transmission line. The gain stages are configured to generate a standing wave oscillator signal along the length of the transmission line, when a supply voltage is applied to at least one end of the transmission line. The location of each gain stage is non-coincidental with an expected location of maximum amplitude of the standing wave oscillator signal.

Various embodiments provide apparatuses, systems, and methods for resonant rotary clocking to generate synchronized clock signals. A base die may include a resonant ring structure to form a plurality of rotary traveling wave oscillators (RTWOs) coupled to one another in a rotary oscillator array (ROA). The ROA may provide synchronized clock signals at deterministic phase points that are tapped from the resonant ring structure. Multiple dies may be coupled to the base die (e.g., in a multi-die system) and may receive the tapped clock signals. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
